Committing a transaction tx0 with a defer ops chain of (A, B, C)
creates a chain of transactions that looks like this:

tx0 -> txA -> txB -> txC

Prior to commit cb042117488dbf, __xfs_trans_commit would run precommits
on tx0, then call xfs_defer_finish_noroll to convert A-C to tx[A-C].
Unfortunately, after the finish_noroll loop we forgot to run precommits
on txC.  That was fixed by adding the second precommit call.

Unfortunately, none of us remembered that xfs_defer_finish_noroll
calls __xfs_trans_commit a second time to commit tx0 before finishing
work A in txA and committing that.  In other words, we run precommits
twice on tx0:

xfs_trans_commit(tx0)
    __xfs_trans_commit(tx0, false)
        xfs_trans_run_precommits(tx0)
        xfs_defer_finish_noroll(tx0)
            xfs_trans_roll(tx0)
                txA = xfs_trans_dup(tx0)
                __xfs_trans_commit(tx0, true)
                xfs_trans_run_precommits(tx0)

This currently isn't an issue because the inode item precommit is
idempotent; the iunlink item precommit deletes itself so it can't be
called again; and the buffer/dquot item precommits only check the incore
objects for corruption.  However, it doesn't make sense to run
precommits twice.

Fix this situation by only running precommits after finish_noroll.
